Fulltext: Q0©@ DRA. TABOADA REJOINS USC When Dra. Aranda, former Dean of the College of Pharmacy, left San Carlos to join her husband at his new station in Luzon, Father Rector sounded out our lady faculty for a worthy successor at the USC clinic. It didn't take long for our lady teachers to recall the name of a former colleague in the faculty who had also served as Lady Physician here. The name is Dra. Natividad Corrales Taboada. Dra. Taboada is a native of Mambajao who married a Cebuano. She graduated in medicine at UST in 1939 and joined the staff at the Cebu Maternity House. Sometime after the war, she was employed as Dis pensary Physician in the Cebu City Health Department. Afterwards she taught Zoology at the USC College of Pharmacy, while at the same time served as Dr. Solon's counterpart at the USC clinic. Meanwhile, she established her own hospital, the San Vicente Clinic, behind the AbeIlana Vocational High School, which specializes on maternity cases. She was due to leave this year for the United States to specialize in obstetrics and pediatrics. But her increasing patronage at the San Vicente Clinic prevented her from leaving for the time being. Which is just as well for USC, as we need her expert care and advice for the health of USC coeds. Dra. Taboada is married to Mr. Jose Taboada of Badian, Cebu. They have six children. USC ALUMNI CELEBRATE HOMECOMING The San Carlos Alumni Associa tion celebrated its annual homecom ing on the feast of San Carlos Borromeo, Patron Saint of the Univ ersity. A special Low Mass was offered at six-thirty in the morning, November 4, 1956, by Rt. Rev. Msgr. Esteban Montecillo, V.G., a San Carlos Alumnus. After the Mass, the San Carlos lay faculty met the CIT faculty in a laugh-filled bas ketball game that ended in a tie due, reportedly, to Dr. Solon who refereed the game. At noon the USC faculty was host at lunch to the CIT faculty. The Annual Dinner and Dance of the Alumni Association was held Sunday evening at the Garden Room of the Capitol Hotel. Dra. Natividad Taboada ENG’G JOURNALS DONATED TO USC LIBRARY The College of Engineering of the University of San Carlos received two big cartons containing 206 as sorted engineering journals. The donors of the journals were Attor neys Ramon Binamira and Fernando de los Santos. The donation was made possible through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. William Donnely. In his letter announcing the ship ping of the cartons, Atty, de los Santos expressed the hope that "the magazines would come up to the high standard set by your library for the benefit of the students." Reverend Fr. Joseph Baumgartner, S.V.D., chief librarian of the Univer sity of San Carlos, said that he consi dered the gift a worthwhile addition to the Engineering Library, which half a year ago had been set up as a separate department. CAROLINIANS CONTRIBUTE TO FUND FOR HUNGARY Freshmen in the English classes of Mrs. Avelina J. Gil contributed part of their Christmas allowances to the FUND FOR HUNGARY. The modest sum collected was forwarded to the Manila Times which organized and sponsored the FUND FOR HUNGARY Drive. To all CAROLI NIANS concerned, God reward you for your charityl USC WARRIORS CLEANEST PLAYERS IN MANILA The champions of the CCAA basketball league, USC Warriors, returned from Manila where they distinguished themselves as the cleanest players in the Rizal Me morial Stadium during the Inter collegiate Series. The team success fully fought its way to the semi final games. Four teams were rated for the final event and San Carlos was one among them, the only contender outside Manila. Seeing it having fought for the final event was good enough, considering the number of teams from different schools of the islands that partici pated. A convocation in honor of the USC Warriors was conducted at the USC Quadrangle. All members of the basketball team were introduced to the students by Rev. Fr. Wrocklage, (program moderator) after Rev. Fr. Rector, Mr. Juan Aquino (coach) and Mr. Danilo Deen (captain) gave their respective short remarks. USC LIBRARY SCIENCE CLUB HOLDS PROGRAM In connection with the celebra tion of National Book Week, the USC Library Science Club held a lively program at the Main Library Hall, November 27, 1956. The program was highlighted by the presenta tion of books by Mr. Bernard La vin, USIS Public Relations Officer, to the USC Library through Rev. Fr. Joseph Baumgartner, SVD, USC Chief Librarian. The musical num bers were the most lively and add ed life to the program. A One-Act Play by Fanny Magallon tickled the crowd and drew the attention of Library borrowers and urged them to check their library behaviors. A native dance was also presented. Mr. Restituto Bacalso was the Mas ter of Ceremonies. A HOLY HOUR FOR THE PEOPLE OF HUNGARY— The University of San Carlos re cently sponsored a Holy Hour for the afflicted people of Hungary. It was held in the University Chapel, November 11, 1956, with Rev. Fr. Enrique Schoenig, SVD, conducting the service. The general public was invited and a fair crowd at tended the service. Page 20 THE CAROLINIAN DDOV27! STRICT POLICY FOR STUDENT-EMPLOYEES IMPOSED Check up of final grades of stu dents working in the University of San Carlos has been effected this semester. Student-employees who got final grades of four or five dur ing the first semester are advised to give up the work they are assigned. The Library Department, as of this date, is the only department that has lost some of its student-emplo yees who received failing grades. New faces have been taken in to take the place of those who have resigned and to fill up vacancies created by the addition of new sec tions. COLLEGE OF LAW ENROLMENT INCREASES Despite the rigid screening of students in the College of Law during the previous semesters, a notable increase in enrolment is warming up a call for more rooms this 2nd semester. Indications are that a great need for more rooms will arise next year as a result of the upsurge in enrolment. Considerable increases have been noted in all the sections representing the Col lege of Law. LIBRARY CHANGE A change has been effected in the USC Library by the shifting of assignments for Librarians as signed in their respective posts. Mr. Vicente Espiritu who was formerly assigned in the main Library doing supervisory work in the issuance of books to the students is now as signed in the separate Library of the Engineering Department. Taking his place is Mr. Victor Asubar who was with the Occidental Negros Institute in Bacolod City as a Libra rian and who was then working in the USC Library prior to his em ployment in Bacolod City. Miss Adelaida Palomar, a graduate in Education, Library Science minor and a Law graduate is employed and assigned as a Librarian in the College of Law Library. Mrs. Ricarda Sanchez, also a Library Science major, is assigned as in-charge of the USC Girls' High School Libra ry. The change was ordered by the Chief Librarian, Rev. Josef Baum gartner, SVD. USC WINS CCAA CHAMPIONSHIP The 1956 championship banner of the CCAA basketball league was recaptured by the USC Warriors during the title fight between USC and CIT. The cage fiesta saw a record crowd of over five thousand fanatics from contending sides. This year’s CCAA basketball victory marks San Carlos' return to su premacy. The close fight ended with 55 points for San Carlos and 54 for CIT. A warm salute is given to Coach Dodong Aquino, to team captain Danny Deen, to Father Wrocklage, Father Kolk and the cheerers of the San Carlos team. DEAN OF RELIGION INVITES YOU The Dean of Religion, Rev. Fr. John Vogelgesang, SVD, is stepping up the checking of individual re cords of students enrolled in Reli gion but who are not actually at tending classes. Through the Univ ersity Bulletin, he served notice to all concerned that they will soon receive call slips ordering them to report to the Dean's Office and ex plain why, although they have enrolled in religion, they are not attending classes. Record of each student now enrolled in the Univ ersity is on file with complete data regarding the kind and number of religion courses already taken with their corresponding grades and the number of religion subjects current ly enrolled in. USC PARTICIPATION IN THE EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS The University's initiative in urging Carolinians to join the Second National Eucharistic Con gress celebration brought warm res ponse from a large number of fa culty members and students who went in group to Manila where the celebration was held. Cardinal Spellman of New York, who was appointed Papal Legate to the Con gress, led the Holy Affair. The Eucharistic Congress was the Na tion's tribute to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus for all the graces generously given us during the years. Officially representing the SVD Fathers of the University at the Congress was Rev. Fr. Joseph Goertz, SVD, USC Dean of the Col lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences. LIB. ARTS STUDES JOIN SCA In response to a wide call for membership in the SCA, about 300 Liberal Arts and Sciences students "acted in the service of a great cause" to form .the Liberal Arts SCA unit. The volunteers were grouped according to their respective courses in order to facilitate cooperation among them. With Miss Betty B. Antonio as coordinator, the said unit is planning to hold its induction ceremonies sometime in December before the Christmas vacation. 1957 SEMPER FIDELIS The 1957 Semper Fidelis (USC Yearbook) was ordered by the Fa ther Rector to be ready in due time. He appointed Mr. Tomas Echivarre and Mr. Vicente Ranudo, formerly editor-in-chief and senior associate editor of the Carolinian respectively, as Editors of the said annual. Pic tures for the second semester gra duates of this year are now being collected and before Christmas va cation they will be ready to be sent to Manila for printing. It is expect ed that this year's annual will be better both in format and context. NEW GUINEA MISSIONARY VISITS SAN CARLOS A missionary from New Guinea visited the University of San Carlos during the first week of November. He is Rev. Fr. William Saido, SVD, currently Procurator of one of the SVD Missions in New Guinea. His visit here was partly inspired by his interest in the study of the local copra industry. Fr. Saido was or dained priest in 1942 and two years after his ordination he was assigned as a missionary in New Guinea. CAMPAIGN FOR CORRIDOR SILENCE The campaign for corridor silence by the Reverend Father Secretary General was a success, according to a report released through the University Bulletin. In line with the campaign, students in the libra ry, social hall and other places were enjoined to wait for the bell before going to their respective class rooms. Teachers were requested not to start prayers five minutes be fore the bell signal.

Is this what we call pru dence? Or is prudence a mere arm chair that easily degenerates into weakness and lethargy? Our youth does not seek to fight for emanci pation. They want to do something more positive than that. They look up to you, not for your distrust and cynicism, but for guidance, for wis dom and, above all, for inspiration. Young communists are trained, through hard work and study, to be come leaders in the movement. Are we to believe that it is impossible to find young Catholics with equal capabilities and with equal spirit of dedication? State universities pre pare their students for career life. When shall our Catholic schools pre pare their students for lifetime apos tolate THROUGH their chosen careers?

But the world was unfortunately wrong. Entirely wrong. Russia, just recently, un cloaked herself out of her civilized veneer, unmasked herself for what she really is and more than proved that beastliness is not a property of the past alone but of the present, too. Over a million liberty-loving Hungarians merely asked for freedom. Russia butchered more than 20,000 of them: children, women, daughters, mothers, sons, fathers, and all! Their only crime: they dared ask for freedom! Nevertheless, the Hungarians were not scared. The strong fought with arms; the workers staged a country-wide strike; the weak fled to take refuge in some other land. But Russian brutalities did not end. The Russians continued to kill and kill. . . harassing the fighters, deporting what they called "reactionaries" into Siberia, shooting the refugees, chasing them even beyond the borders of the neighboring nations. The Russians are eating the Hungarian people; the Russians are drinking their blood. The Russians are beasts! brutes! savages! They must be stopped; the barbarians must pay. Those who died for free dom must be avenged. • Newspaper headlines: Teachers' Exam Set Today BARE LEAKAGE IN YESTERDAY'S EXAM CPA Test Held Today CPA TEST QUESTIONS LEAK OUT 10,000 Take General Clerical Exam Today LEAKAGE IN GENERAL CLERICAL EXAM CONFIRMED The country seems to be suffering from a leakage fever nowadays. It is really a great shame on the part of Juan de la Cruz reluctantly but necessarily to admit before our foreign visitors that this govern ment is crook-infested. Dishonesty is already an everyday parlance; honesty is news. • Speaking of jaywalking, I believe this University should adopt its own anti-jaywalking ordinance. Not just a few students jaywalk themselves, with that ease and unconcern unparalleled in the annals of this school's history, on their way to and from the classrooms. Consequently, traffic in the corridors and lobby are always snarled. The already noisy atmosphere worsens when the glib talkers (loosetongued women, especially) declare their holiday. . . blocking the way while laughing and scratching each other... amidst the jam brought about by the lazy flow of the crowd. Ergo: a law against jaywalking should be enforced inside the school; a special traffic policeman should be assigned to solve the traffic mess. • This seems to be the age of gangs. The walls here are ganginfested. Very often, these gangs beat the wrong gong at night as witness the recent stoning of USC's glass windows. Next time, fellows, please use bread not stones! • Every law student here knows that the law library faces the sun morning and afternoon. Further, that because of the library's peculiar location, both librarians and library browsers are at the mercy of the sweltering heat inside it. One student who could not hold his feelings any longer heaved a very long sigh of hope that the administration, somehow and someday, may come to realize how badly this library needs at least one electric fan of a ventilator of any sort. Another, however, was quick to remark: "Que serd, sera!" JANUARY, 1957 Page 37
